How Does Electric Current Create A Magnetic Field?

This is a little complex explanation but I guess it's a complex subject:


Inductance


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inductance is that property in an electrical circuit where a change in the current flowing through that circuit induces an electromotive force (EMF) that opposes the change in current (See Induced EMF).
In electrical circuits, any electric current i produces a magnetic field and hence generates a total magnetic flux Φ acting on the circuit. This magnetic flux, due to Lenz's law tends to act to oppose changes in the flux by generating a voltage (a back EMF) that counters or tends to reduce the rate of change in the current. The ratio of the magnetic flux to the current is called the self-inductance which is usually simply referred to as the inductance of the circuit. The term 'inductance' was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886.^[1] It is customary to use the symbol L for inductance, possibly in honour of the physicist Heinrich Lenz.^{[2] [3]}
In honour of Joseph Henry, the unit of inductance has been given the name henry (H): 1H = 1Wb/
